The Porsche 911 was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963. The car was a natural successor for the Porsche 356, which originated in the village of Gmünd in Austria, and whose production had moved to Stuttgart, Germany, after the Second World War.

While the 356 borrowed many parts and the four-cylinder boxer powertrain was developed from the VW Typ 1 engine block, the Porsche 911 was powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled 6-cylinder boxer engine. The sporty and round shapes with round headlights followed the design language familiar from the Volkswagen Typ 1 and still from the Porsche 356.

The air-cooled car was not only light, but also simple to maintain and tune. Thanks to its simple technology, it was also suitable for everyday driving and was easy and effortless to drive. But from the beginning, the Porsche 911 was designed especially as a sports car and racing car.

The car for sale is the early short-wheelbase version of 911  with a two-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine. In the 1990s, this Porsche was built as a racing car for the racing legend P. Sinkkilä, who competed in the Finnish 1000 lakes Rally together with Alén, Hannula, Lampinen and Mäkinen and won three Finnish rallycross championships. The Porsche was FIA-approved in 1993. The current owner, J.Karhapää, has now owned the car for 25 years since December 2000.

The car was completely rebuilt by the current owner during the 2010s and 2020s. The FIA-approved rally car was built by Porsche experts without sparing any money or time. The body has been carefully restored with Porsche repair panels and painted in Porsche’s Gold Metallic shade. The roll cage was renewed and a fire extinguisher system installed. The car has a fuel-powered additional heater for winter rallies. The front has period-correct Cibie additional lights.

The engine and all other mechanics of the car  were built by Porsche expert Pukema in Finland. The gearbox has also been overhauled and the clutch and flywheel renewed. The bushings of chassis and suspension, brakes and the entire fuel system have also been recently renewed.

The Porsche is fast, easy to drive and works excellently. The car has only been driven in one day’s special stages in Tunturi Rally, Finland after a thorough engine overhaul.

The current owner has driven occasional rallies and is quitting the hobby due to his high age.

Just serviced and ready for competition, the FIA ​​passport is valid until the end of 2028 and the car’s inspection until 01/2027.

The car is located in Vantaa – 25 minutes from Helsinki–Vantaa airport. Views by appointment.
